Impact analysis
Could put county dollars into development deals as an equity owner rather than just grants or loans — with unknown exposure until the bill is finalized.
Residents could share in gains from development the county already helps fund, especially in underinvested areas inside the Beltway.
Critics like attorney Tanya Sweat argue taxpayers bear the risk when county investments in properties go unpaid or mismanaged.
